Saturday 1st June

I can now officially say I am in New York! Had a lovely few days chilling in Newark with the girlies, made a couple of visits to the Jersey Gardens mall- a huge outlet centre, where we shopped and sampled our first American traditions- Cinnabons and Chile cheese dogs :)

After a two hour taxi trip where we acted like total tourists, taking pictures of every sign and sight, we made it to Manhattanville campus. It's huge. We are in the furthest away building and it is a trek to get back to the main entrance, but I'm sure we'll get used to it! So far there are me, two Roey girls and a Manhattanville girl in our building but there should be another person arriving tomorrow so we'll have a full house :) My room sleeps three people normally and it's huuuuuge! It's on the ground floor too so it's a bit eerie in this massive room by myself :/ but again, I'm sure I'll get used to it soon.

Again, there wasn't much to update on so far as we've only just arrived but we are up early tomorrow for a full tour of NYC including lunch at Grand Central Station so hopefully I will have something more interesting to say tomorrow :)
